Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting.

We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

Thank you for your leadership, @GovKathyHochul.

What stage of capitalism is this?
